1. In Effigy
You will never
Give the power
To the powerless
Your new ideal
Has Grown
Beyond your control
Can you ever find yourslef again?
Your vision distroting
Knowing it will never end
Can't see through your eyes
Can you imagine
What is only
One step away?
The potential
Is waiting
Just beyond your grasp
Can you ever find yourslef again?
Your vision distorting
Knowing it will never end
Can you keep fighting on and on?
THIS FALSE ME
WILL BURN
IN EFFIGY!!!
It's so easy
To relax and wathch from afar
It's so easy yo give in to inertia
Can you ever find yourself again?
Your vision distorting
Knowing it will never end
Can't see through your eyes
2. Will to Rebuild
Unleashed upon the shores (rain of terror)
The latent power unveiled
A cruel reminder (of our weakness)
Of our vulnerability!
We will rebuild!
We will rise!
We will rebuild!
We will survive!
SURVIVE!!!
Inner strength will always (never falter)
Overpower your neglect
Turn your back on us (the adandoned)
And we will rise alone!
We will rebuild!
We will rise!
We will rebuild!
We will survive!
SURVIVE!!!
Stranded adn forgetten
A blind eye tunrs away
Another failure for the fool
SUBMERGE THE IMAGE!!!
The spirit shines through the deepest of waters
3. Haunting Me Endlessly
Choking in the grip of suspicion
Trapped beneath the sword of absolution
Escape is impossible, Indulge yourself in ignorance
Blocking out the sun, turning in the breeze
Hung high above in a noose of sympathy
What has become?
The seeds I"ve sown
Still haunting m endlessly
Escape is impossible
Indulge yourself in ignorance
What has become?
The seeds I"ve sown
Still haunting me endlessly
Thy will be done
All I've been shown
Is still haunting me endlessly
Escape is impossible
Indulge yourself ignorance
Choking in the grip of suspicion
Trapped beneath the sword of absolution
Through the souls of ages
This deceitful elevation
Collapsing into rages
From corrupted meditations
What hs become?
The seeds I've sown
Still haunting me endlessly
Thy will be done
All I've been shown
Is still haunting me endlessly
Indulge in the pleasures of the fallen
Give yourslef away
4. Seize the Calm
The shimmer of understanding
Grasping to maintain
The cold touch of chaos
Are you in control?
(Chorus)
On the edge, how did it come to this?
As we stare into the abyss
This world will only be
A pleasent lie or bitter truth
Somewhere buried deep within
Is a light that forever shines
(Chorus)
On the edge, how did it come to this?
As we stare into the abyss
On the edge, on the precipice
As we stare into the abyss
Seize the calm
It holds more than life
(Chorus)
On the edge, how did it come to this?
As we stare into the abyss
On the edge, on the precipice
As we stare into the abyss
FADING!!!
FALLING!!!
Weightless and shameless
FADING!!!
FALLING!!!
Weightless and shameless.
5. Carpal Tunnel
Spit your words of fury, Tear your way beneath the skin.
Infecting with doubt, A useless web you spin.
(Chorus)
What is it you hope to gain from this? NOTHING!
What is it you hope to prove with this? NOTHING!
Hidden away from view
You start your fires
The child you became king
Of the jackels and the liars.
(Chorus)
What is it you hope to gain from this? NOTHING!
What is it you hope to prove with this? NOTHING!
Breaking Your Fingers!!!
Silence your voice
Breaking Your Fingers!!!
You've made your choice.
Hidden away from view
You start your fires
The child you became king
Of the jackels and the liars.
(Chorus)
What is it you hope to gain from this? NOTHING!
What is it you hope to prove with this? NOTHING!
Breaking Your Fingers!!!
Silence your voice
Breaking Your Fingers!!!
You've made your choice.
6. Going, Going, Gone
Smashing, always forward
Leave nothing in your path
Shortsighted and indifferent
To what lies ahead
Reckless abandon (chasing your tail)
Blinding ambition (you learn to fail)
Winning a race
No one else began
No rest for the wicked
Winter calls again
Crawling gagging (chasing your tail)
Battered and bleeding (you learn to fail)
Rip it up and tear it down
It weighs heavy on my soul.
Rip it up and tear it down
It weighs heavy on my soul.
Confront the stranger
Staring back at you
Twisted reflection
In the looking glass
Reckless abandon (chasing your tail)
Blinding ambition (you learn to fail)
Winning a race
No one else began
No rest for the wicked
Winter calls again
Crawling gagging (chasing your tail)
Battered and bleeding (you learn to fail)
Rip it up and tear it down
It weighs heavy on my soul.
Rip it up and tear it down
It weighs heavy on my soul.
TEAR IT OUT!!!
How could you let it fall?
The strain of the climb leaves you empty!
7. Deadworld
Drowning yourself in a world of lies
Wandering lost, until the ego dies
Perceptions been tainted by your lack of free will
We have become what we once most feared
The brilliance of the light's been dulled to grey
Denying our souls of the most noble truths
Trapped within and blinded by youth
[Chorus:]
We must end this wicked game
Mourning a dead world
Empty life of relentless shame
Mourning a dead world
See through what's been taught to you
Mourning a dead world
Breathe in life and seek the truth
Mourning a dead world
As progress paves the forest and paints the sky
Cities rise like cancer, rive of life is dry
Spirits of ancients will then awake a rise
The seal is broken, final sign of our demise
[Repeat chorus]
Awake and rise
Redemption fires
Burn the lies
Redemption fires
8. This Is My Own
9. December (Only Living Witness Cover)
(In the) Darkened shroud of morning
Simplified in face and stature
Blessing in the storming
Sweetness of a subtle feature
Alone and safe inside
Without worry, with out knowing who's
Been cast aside
Twisted down, escape to rest
I will writhe in my December
These crafted understandings
Smother citadel defending
They'll miss a motive is cast together
(The) comfort, effort in the end
Alone and safe inside
Without worry
Who's been kept alive
Without knowing
I will writhe in my December
Learned, learned I love the air here
And I learned, learned
I love the roar in my ears
I satiate this urge of mine
I substitute the urge to hide
Alone, alone and safe inside
10. Mark of the Squealer (Leeway Cover)
Sat down confessed it with a full report
Dashed it out but he couldn't take it
Had to drop dime, through a partner in crime
Got away without serving his time
Snitches get stitches
The thread on your cheek must itch
Snitches get stitches
You got yours you son of a bitch
The mark of the squealer
Too soft to be the dealer
And nothing can heal you
Mark of the squealer
The mark of the squeal
I'm out on a mission
To catch a stool pigeon
11. Teasin' Pleasin' (Dangerous Toys Cover)
Ten boots, a-battered and a-beaten
Holes in our soles where the desert has eaten
But they're holdin' out and they're so easy fittin'
Just a few holes where the rattlesnakes have bitten
They ain't too fancy and they're just a little dirty
But they mean a lot to us, we think they're awful purty
We wear 'em all the time, from morning to night
If you wanna take 'em from us, then you're in for the a fight
We wouldn't trade for whiskey or a lover
They've taken us further than either of the other
And when we're gone, we won't be a-carin'
Six feet under, you know what we'll be wearin'
Ten boots, a-rollin' and a-rompin'
Ten boots, a-stompin' and a-kickin' up
A cloud of dust, a might hi-ho Silver
Ten boots, a-ten boots ain't stoppin'
My boots an' me, oh, we're a-never knowin'
From day to day just where we'll be a-goin'
Down a dusty road, or a-ridin' on a rail
Lovin' or a-fightin', they'll never fail me
Yah ho huh
